IBM Publishes Documentation for Spyre AI Accelerator Card
Start here
IBM has published product documentation for the Spyre AI Accelerator, a PCIe add-on card that adds AI inferencing capacity to IBM Z and LinuxONE systems. The card is rated at 75W and uses 32 AI accelerator cores built on Samsung's 5nm process, with up to 128GB of LPDDR5 memory per card and more than 300 TOPS of throughput. IBM positions Spyre as a complement to the on-chip Telum-II accelerator rather than a replacement. Cards can be grouped into ensembles of up to eight, reaching 1TB of memory for running multiple models at once, such as real-time fraud detection. IBM also lists on-premises generative AI workloads, including Watsonx Code Assistant, among the intended uses.
